The Gophers basketball team held media day at Williams Arena Saturday afternoon. It was the first chance media members had to meet the new roster for the 2017-18 season. Expectations are high for a team that finished 24-10 with an NCAA Tournament appearance. The Gophers are ranked 15th in the first USA Today coaches poll.
The team has been focused on the new season, though. Head coach Richard Pitino has been creative with his roster after three injuries limited contact practices this fall. Reggie Lynch, Dupree McBrayer, and Davonte Fitzgerald have all been medically cleared to practice, but Pitino still had to shift his approach.
